My pet theory about why Anthropic and Open AI are pushing for a “pause” is because they are trying to angle for a government bailout before their bubbles pop.

anthropoic is the one calling for it, they are deep in the surveillance for trump, and other countries, they want to get ahead of that. they dont want cheaper AI companies to overtake them thats the real reason, and of course the bubble is going to burst eventually. they want government to buy htier "AI usage for surveillance before it gets popped"

That's the company that the trump admin attempted to blacklist because they said "no domestic surveillance", right?

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
